Can I join Pharmacy First?
Yes, if you are registered with a doctor in Nottinghamshire County and you are exempt from paying prescription charges or hold a valid prescription prepayment certificate. If you pay for your prescriptions, the pharmacist will still be able to help you with your health problems, but you will need to pay for any medicines supplied.
